Muscimol acts as a GABA agonist. It is found naturally in certain species of mushrooms, but is also produced synthetically for use as a prescription medication. When consumed, muscimol produces sedative and hypnotic effects, as well as muscle relaxation and analgesia. It has been used in the treatment of certain medical conditions, such as insomnia, anxiety, and spasticity, but is more commonly used recreationally for its shamanic effects.

Ibotenic acid is a naturally occurring compound found in certain species of mushrooms including Amanita Muscaria, Pantherina, and more. It is a potent agonist of the neurotransmitter glutamate, and is thought to play a role in the psychoactive effects of these mushrooms. When ingested, ibotenic acid is metabolized by the body into muscimol, which acts as a GABA agonist and produces sedative and hypnotic effects. Ibotenic acid can also cause muscle spasms, tremors, and convulsions when taken in high doses. It is important to note that ibotenic acid is a potentially toxic substance and should be used with caution.

Yes. Our Amanita Muscaria mushroom gummies go through both a heat cycle and PH assisted decarboxylation process to ensure the best end results.

Decarboxylation is the process of applying heat to a substance, in this case amanita muscaria mushrooms, in order to activate the psychoactive compounds contained within it. This is typically done through baking or heating the mushrooms on a low temperature in an oven.

Here is a general outline of the process of safely decarboxylating amanita muscaria mushrooms:

1. Preheat your oven to a temperature of around 250-300 degrees Fahrenheit.
2. Grind the mushrooms into a fine powder using a coffee grinder or food processor.
3. Spread the ground mushrooms evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
4. Bake the mushrooms in the preheated oven for 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure even heating.
5. Allow the mushrooms to cool completely before storing or using them.

It is important to note that amanita muscaria mushrooms can be toxic if consumed in large quantities, and should be used with caution. It is also important to handle the mushrooms carefully to avoid inhaling any potentially harmful spores.

First we test the raw material for safety, then the mushrooms proceed to decarboxylation. The mushrooms are pulverized into a powder and introduced to a safe water-based solution, where the powder undergoes MUSC™ ultrasonic extraction. The high intensity ultrasonic extraction process breaks down the cell barriers containing Muscimol, Ibotenic Acid, and other compounds of interest. This enables bioavailability up to 5x greater than competing mushroom products. 

The optimal dose for an individual depends on their body composition, metabolism, and tolerance levels. Carefully adjusting and testing the dose, with a specific goal in mind, is important in determining what works best for you. Muscimol may be intoxicating.

The term "microdose" can be understood in different ways depending on the context. Scientifically, it refers to a very small dose of a substance that has an effect on the subconscious mind but does not produce overt psychoactive effects. In popular culture, microdosing often refers to the practice of taking a small amount of a psychoactive substance in order to experience some of its effects without disrupting daily functioning. To determine the appropriate microdose for oneself, it is generally recommended to start with a very small dose and gradually increase it until the desired effects are achieved. This process, known as titration, allows the individual to find the minimum effective dose that works for them personally. It is important to note that microdosing is a highly individualized process and what works for one person may not work for another.

Rarely, and usually only at a high dose. Amanita mushrooms are not the same as psilocybin mushrooms and do not have the same psychoactive effects. Psilocybin mushrooms, also known as magic mushrooms or shrooms, contain the psychedelic compound psilocybin, which is responsible for their psychoactive effects. Amanita mushrooms, on the other hand, do not naturally contain psilocybin. While some species of amanita mushrooms do produce psychoactive effects when consumed, these effects are not the same as those produced by psilocybin mushrooms and are generally not as intense.

While psilocybin is known for intense visual effects and hallucinations, muscimol is less intense. Low doses of the compound act more as a sedative, helping you relax, lowering stress levels, and reducing anxiety. 

Amanita Mushroom Effects May Include: 

• Euphoria 
• Relaxation or sedation 
• Drowsiness 
• Reducing muscle pain 
• Numbness 
• Changes in sensory perception, including sound, taste, and sight 
• Disassociation 
• Restorative sleep 
• Vivid dreams 
• Looping, or repeating experiences 

You can expect the muscimol to start working around an hour after consuming, with the experience peaking around hour three. Some lasting effects can be felt for up to 10 hours.
